Dispute with mod

I’m not getting into politics here, I’m using the Harris trump thread as a perfect example of what happens when there is a majority on one side, and how that can affect moderating , especially moderating via response to the report function.

Do you disagree that if there is a 10:1 majority on one side in a discussion, especially on a divisive thread, that moderating is impacted by the majority?

Warned: Shut up about the report function

The claim was the number of reports doesn't impact whether a comment was sanctioned or not.

What you're talking about is completely different.

I would agree with this.

Every other post in a thread being reported in a contentious thread is different to one post being reported multiple times.

And I would think, if a post is actionable, it is actionable whether reported once, or reported ten times by different posters.

At least, I hope that is how it works.

I had also put in a report, based off a post I had seen, about whether there should be some on thread warning about pouring gasoline on bunk 'stolen election' nonsense.

I think in sporting terms it'd be the difference between celebrating and rubbing it in someones face...

Yes team X won, we needed that...

Versus

Hey either named poster or all you fans of X, how'd you like that. Dont cry too hard into those cornflakes

Etc

Maybe people read it for the laughs, only the thread never lived up to its premise and laughs were thin on the ground.. Lots of trans bashing, women's prisons, women's sports, the usual.

Yeah I believe people got peed off because the thread got closed. I don't think that thread would fly now at all, even though it was not that long ago. No matter how many warnings were given out, the thread always defaulted to type.

How do you close your account please, banned for posting some of Trump's comments which I 100% agree with about Trans people in sports and child mutilation in his rallies from crazy parents . If you can't talk about positive changes he is going to make what's the point of even been on boards.

Edit: Actually permanent ban me please which is probably handier. **** boards and all it's users. Thanks

Warned: Uncivil

The election thread for months has been simply a completely toxic thread where debate was “slammed”- it started with calling posters “rapist sympathisers” after which I opened a thread about in feedback and had to fight for moderators to come to the table to ban this behaviour - I shouldn’t have had to do that.

There was absolutely no moderation in that thread for the vast majority of the election - I don’t care what mod comes here and says otherwise, there wasn’t. I’m not interested in lectures at this stage so don’t even think of challenging that statement - it was left to run wild and self moderate by posters who were quite simply bullies - I and others have had multiple bans and warnings for pathetic reasons when a core of posters treated the thread like their own personal playground- and were certainly never banned for their vile behaviour - again I’m not interested in a mod challenge on this - they weren’t it’s fact!

However with the latest appointment of new mods, and in particular one, I think it was Necro - they posted an on thread warning to me and another poster to “ignore” each other - I replied saying I certainly would -I stood by that I thought that was a decent intervention given they appreciated we both were posting on the election thread and 2 days out, wouldn’t have wanted a ban- but what did the other poster do in less than 24 hours? They started quoting my posts again- two different ones- baiting me again to reply - I mean FFS- a new mod gives you a break - and you basically tell them to fck off- what a wanker. .

This was a poster who treated the thread as their own - so sorry I’ve absolutely no pity for certain posters today if they’re being abused on the election thread. While I haven’t done so myself, I certainly won’t be reporting any that do - but then again we know these posters are well able to report posts when it suits them

...

Dude, you won, enjoy it. No point looking back in anger. Take the win and move forward.
